"We look forward to working closely together with the team at MAB to help their mortgage clients put in place the protection they need."
- Vincent O’Connor, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Guardian
Guardian Financial Services’ (Guardian) protection menu includes Life Insurance, Critical Illness (CI), Combined Life & CI, Children’s CI, and Income Protection (IP). Guardian is best known for its clear definitions as well as an ‘own job’ definition for IP policies. Likewise, with Guardian’s cover upgrade, both existing and new CI policyholders can benefit from future improvements to their policy.
Guardian is set to become a core part of Mortgage Advice Bureau’s (MAB) protection panel, aligning with its strategy of adding further value to advice, and providing customers with the most suitable protection on the market - from a claims perspective.
“We’re thrilled to be welcoming Guardian to our protection panel. Having introduced IP last year to their protection menu, our partnership with Guardian aligns directly with MAB’s strategy of creating protection portfolios for our customers,” explained Andy Walton, Proposition Director for Protection at MAB.
He said, “Guardian’s addition to our panel is an ideal opportunity for us to take our proposition even further. This partnership will add more value to the advice and products we offer, benefitting both brokers and customers alike.”
“Becoming a part of their market-leading protection panel is an important strategic win for us. It not only grows our distribution reach, but also marks the moment that Guardian’s products become accessible to advisers within all the UK’s major advised service providers and networks,” added Vincent O’Connor, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Guardian.
